Dont see how that'll rly help, you sure it cant do transparent textures? i mean things like when you cast magic use it doesnt it? like the waves that emit from you.
EDIT:
Hokay! I've got me a chibi done... doesnt take too long to modify, just a bunch of scaling. I think i'd rather have the hands as fists, but feel free to provide some input. As to the alpha issue, APZ freaks sephi looks like he has some transparency in the hair, but hard to tell, it might not be. I could make it look good without, it'll just take a few extra polies here n there for characters that may need it.
If anyone is wondering, I'm using Blender 2.48 and the reason it looks so nice n fuzzy is that i have ambient occlusion turned on.
I'm not too familiar with how models are chopped up for ff7 (torso, legs, arms etc) as each is its own object, so if anyone could explain it, or offer a diagram er something it would be greatly appreciated. I may try n texture these. Texturing is my weakpoint, so it may do me good to practice.
In terms of whats next, I'd like to leave barret for a little bit, as to figure out what to do about his gun hand, to leave a stub or what. And red 13... I hate modeling quadrupeds. Therefor, my next character will probably be Tifa, at a good friend's request.
